The Schumann Resonance is a natural phenomenon that is vital to the well being of all life on this planet. Since time began it has maintained a steady frequency. Recently the eons old modulation has started changing. We have no idea what this will mean for life on earth.

Coincidentally the Schumann resonance and geopathic stress is a topic that I’ve been exploring for a future book. However, because it’s clearly something that interests readers right now, and for the benefit of those who have not yet come across this particular phenomenon, I’ve written this blog post. It’s not fully researched; it’s a work in progress to be fully developed in a future book, but it reflects my opinions and findings at the moment. And it is timely and relevant, because if grounding is real earth magic, then the Schumann resonance is the very pulse of the Earth—and it too, may be falling victim to those same bothersome electromagnetic fields that so concerned us in my Grounding Therapy book.

The Schumann Resonance: the science

Like the theory of grounding itself, the Schumann resonance is another very complex area that is not easy for a techno-dunce like me to get to grips with. However, the following is my best interpretation based upon my research so far. I’m sure that any errors or gaps in my knowledge will soon be pointed out to me.

The Schumann resonance was first postulated in 1953 when the German physicist Professor W O Schumann, building on the pioneering discoveries of Nikola Tesla and others, theorised the existence of naturally occurring electromagnetic pulsations or resonances around the earth which were induced by lightning strikes.

According to his theory, lightning hitting the earth discharges electromagnetic energy into the space between the surface of the earth and the ionosphere (a layer of charged particles that surrounds the Earth from a height of about 50km), which acts as a closed waveguide and causes it to vibrate or resonate at extremely low frequencies. These electromagnetic waves created by the lightning travel around the Earth at the speed of light, reflecting and bouncing from the ionosphere to earth and back again in cyclical fashion.

The hypothesis was confirmed in 1954 when measurements by Schumann and his students detected resonances at an average frequency of 7.83 Hz.

When Schumann’s test results were published, a physician named Dr Ankermueller immediately pointed out the connection between Schumann resonance of 7.83 Hz and the frequency of brain waves. Amazingly, a frequency of 7.83Hz is precisely the resonance of human brainwaves in the Alpha state.

Schumann was intrigued and asked a doctorate candidate, Herbert König, to investigate further. König’s work demonstrated that there was indeed a correlation between the so-called Schumann resonance and brain rhythms. He compared human EEG recordings with natural environmental electromagnetic fields and found that the mean frequency produced by Schumann oscillations is indeed almost identical to the frequency of the human brain the alpha state.

Such a happy symmetry captured the imagination of everyone from NASA scientists and CIA spooks to new-age seekers, feng shui practitioners, conspiracy theorists and heaven knows who else, and each has a different take on just what, if anything, this means for humanity. Depending on the point of view, living beings either evolved in this natural electromagnetic environment or were created by somedivine intelligence to live in harmony with it.

The new-agers see the frequency as a sort of Mother Earth pulse, a unifying worldwide energy that demonstrates the principle of yin and yang and explains, amongst many other things, how dowsing works. Others incorporate it into earth energy and feng shui work. NASA scientists use it to better understand lightning. The US Department of the Navy has investigated it in relation to communication with submarines. It has been explored as a tool for measuring climate change and weather patterns. More alarmingly, according to conspiracy theorists the US government’s HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program ) is alleged to have used it in an attempt to create a weather weapon!

It may not have escaped your notice that most of the serious research carried out into the Schumannresonance has been for military or government purposes, whilst investigations into itsimpact upon the well-being ofhumanity and the planethas been left to more fringe elements, who although well meaning and capable are lacking the serious financial clout of dear old Uncle Sam. Somethings never change.

We’re all Schumann Beings

What we do know is that the Schumann resonance seems to have been surrounding all living things with this natural frequency pulsation since time began.There is also growing evidence that exposure to it is necessary to our well-being. For instance, the late Dr Bob Beck (http://www.bobbeck.com/) asserts that recorded dips in the earth’s Schumann resonances have had strong correlation to the incidences of heart attacks, car accidents, and a general increase in the death rate.

Professor R.Wever from the Max Planck Institute for Behavioural Physiology in Erling-Andechs, built a hermetically sealed underground bunker which completely screened out magnetic fields. Student volunteers lived there for four weeks, during which time Professor Wever noted that the student’s circadian rhythms became disordered and that they suffered emotional distress and migraine headaches. After only a brief exposure to 7.8 Hz (the Schumann resonance, which had been screened out,) the volunteer’s health rapidly stabilized again.

Similar health problems were apparently reported by the first astronauts and cosmonauts, who were no longer exposed to the Schumann waves whilst in space. To counter this, modern spacecraft are said to contain a device which simulates the Schumann waves of 7.8hz, although as far as I know this has never been confirmed by NASA.

Not for the first time it seems that the alternative fringe could be right, and that humankind, indeed every living thing on the planet, depends upon the unfailing, steady, reassuring electromagnetic heartbeat known as the Schumann resonance.

Which makes it slightly worrying to learn that, after eons of time, the frequency of the Schumann resonance is increasing rapidly.

Increasing Frequency

For many years – probably since the beginning of time – this frequency has remained steady at about 7.83 Hz, with only slight fluctuations. But then, in June 2014 scientists at the Russian Space Observing System recorded a sudden spike in frequency to around 8.5 Hz. This led to much scratching of heads. Since then, they have recorded days where the Schumann accelerated as fast as 16.5 Hz. This has got the boffins completely baffled and at first they thought their equipment was malfunctioning, but stringent checks proved that the data was accurate. At the time of writing the frequency is holding at around 13Hz. No one knows what’s causing this intermittent spiking activity, or what the implications are.

The Theories

The causes of this dramatic increase are not understood but there are several theories.

Some scientist believe that climate change is the culprit. They suspect that global warming inducesincreased lightning activity worldwide, and more lightning generates a stronger Schumann resonance.

Others blame the USA’s HAARP programme, (officially now shut down, but unofficially- who knows?) which was alleged to have been punching holes in the ionosphere.

However many experts now believe that the most likely cause is the increasing level of artificial man-made electromagnetic radiation, which helps to interfere with and maskthe natural beneficial 7.8 frequency of the Earth, as part of a wider field interference known as geopathic stress. Geopathic stress is the name given to the disruption of the Earth’s energy fields caused by underground streams, mineral formations, andtectonic faults. It has always been present, but until recently the background distortion caused by such naturally occurring features didn’t pose too much of a threat to the natural frequency.

More recently however geopathic stress has been increasing as our modern civilisation continues to ‘develop’. Sewer pipes, underground services, water and electrical lines, tunnelling and, most insidious of all, our old friends electromagnetic fields (emfs), are all factors which contribute to geopathic stress, and as they continue to proliferate across the globe geopathic stress levels are reaching a point where they seem to be having a significant impact upon the Schumann resonance.

In reality though, no-one has come up with a conclusive reason why the Schumann Frequency has reached such elevated levels in such a short time.

Even more worryingly, no one has any idea what, if anything, the sudden rise means for mankind.

The End of the World – or just a blip?

The fact that we are clueless as to the real cause of the Schumann jump hasn’t stopped every man and his dog from pitching in with theories about what the consequences will be.

They range from the purely down-to-earth(that the SR is just so much static whichhas no effect on us), to the apocalyptic (that we’re reaching something called ‘zero point’ and the earth’s magnetic poles are about to flip, bringing death and destruction on a massive scale [not so fantastical. Check out this article]), to the metaphysical (that time itself is speeding up, heralding our transition to higher states of being), to the just plain bonkers (that the frequency has been manipulated by aliens to make our brains explode.)

So it seems you pays your money and you takes your choice. We don’t know what’s happening or why, or if it’s going to be good, bad or hardly noticeable.

It may be useful at this stage to pause a while and summarise what we’ve discovered so far.

Schumann resonances are natural waves propagated by lightning strikes in the cavity between the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere. They are named after German physicist Professor W O Schumann.

These pulses circle the earth at an average frequency of 7.83hz, and as far as we know have done so since the dawn of time.

7.83hz is also the frequency of the human brain in the Alpha state.

This remarkable correspondence has spawned much speculation about the relationship between the SR and humanity. Some see the hand of the divine, others see evolution at work, others view it as just coincidence.

It has been studied and exploited by various government and scientific agencies, not always for purely benign purposes. It has also been incorporated into the work and beliefs of more alternative groups.

Whether or not divinely inspired, evidence indicates that exposure to the SR of 7.83 is necessary for optimal human health. When humans are shielded from this resonance their health suffers.

Rising electromagnetic pollution also adds to geopathic stress, which is a combination of man-made and natural frequency interruptions which increasingly disrupt the earth’s natural frequencies.

The Schumann resonance, which has for aeons resonated in harmony with human alpha brainwaves at a frequency of about 7.83 has in recent years accelerated way beyond this and at the time of writing stands at about 13hz. Despite many colourful theories, no one has any idea why this happened or, more importantly what it means for life on this planet.

What should you do?

But something is happening.So what, if anything, should we do about it? Unfortunately, bearing in mind the amount of unknowns that surround the Schumann Resonance, good, informed advice is as rare as a good hair day for Donald Trump. But let’s throw around a few thoughtsand examine some of the ideas already out there.

You might well decide that as no-one really understands the effects of the Schumann resonance anyway you might as well just ignore the whole thing and get on with something useful. And who could blame you?

You might take the wilder theories seriously and put yourself in a state of grace in readiness for your elevation to a higher state of being, or make yourself a stylish tinfoil hat to prevent the aliens boiling your head. You might even write a strongly worded letter to The President of The United States demanding that he stops tinkering about with our weather. I wouldn’t bet on any of these outcomes being too successful though.

A little less fantastically you might invest in a ‘harmonizer’ such as the qwave, which is said to restore the Schumann resonance in your home by ‘flooding your environment with two healing frequency energies: the Scalar Field and the Schumann resonance.’ Alternatively you could listen tosome of the many Cd’s and MP3 tracks which allow you to tune in to the Schumann resonance using obscure musical concepts like ‘binaural beats’ and ‘isochronic tones’.

These devices seem to be popular, but I haven’t tried or investigated them and so can’t endorse them or otherwise.However, they are expensive, and it’s difficult to see how you can protect yourself against a specific threat that might not yet be a threat, and might even turn out to be a blessing. Until we have more information my advice would be to save your money and, if you haven’t already, invest in a good grounding system.

Keep Calm and Stay Grounded

If you’ve already done as much as you possibly can to protect yourself against electromagnetic pollution, then grounding is the only other response that makes sense, given our present knowledge of the Schumann resonance and its effects. If the changing frequency of the Schumann response is harmful, and ifelectromagnetic pollution is partially or wholly responsible, and because we know that grounding helps protect you against electromagnetic pollution, then grounding yourself is just common sense, especially as we already know that it will also help protect you against the effects of free radical damage, oxidative stress and inflammation.
